If the fundamental frequency is 200 MHz, the first harmonic is 200 MHz, and the first overtone is 400 MHz.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 1999 1:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Harmonics Hi All, Recently an interesting discussion came up about harmonics. A general disagreement followed. We hope you all can offer some insight and perhaps help us settle the question. The question is numbering of harmonics. One side says that given a fundamental frequency of 200 MHz, the first harmonic is 400 MHz, the second harmonic is 600 MHz and the third harmonic is 800 MHz. The other side says that given a fundamental frequency of 200 MHz, the first harmonic is 200 MHz (or same as fundamental), the second harmonic is 400 MHz and the third harmonic is 600 MHz. The other part of the discussion revolved around even and odd harmonics. One side says that even harmonics are lower amplitude than the odd harmonics, the other side says odd harmonics are lower amplitude than even harmonics. All discussions assumed non-sinusoidal sources, generally our sources are square- or modified-square waves. Can someone shed some light on harmonic numbering and if possible, point to a reference material that specifies this? Thanks in advance for your input.
